Those graphics are misleading because it describes the number of reported cases (doesn't include people who didn't come in or who weren't tested), yet they're putting that number next to general estimates of flu strains.
The most recent CDC press briefing is here:
http://www.cdc.gov/media/transcripts/2009/t090626.htm http://www.cdc.gov/media/transcripts/2009/t090626.htm
Salient point from it:
"As you may have heard yesterday, we at CDC are estimating that those reported cases are really just the tip of the iceberg. We're saying there have been at least a million cases of this new H1N1 virus in the United States so far this year."
Luckily, H1N1 (why does their graphic use roman numeral I?) isn't particularly lethal at this time, but lots of eyes are on the southern hemisphere.
